Trump should be thanking DeSantis.

Florida no longer in play as a swing state as GOP voters surge over Dems by nearly 900K: DeSantis


Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis believes Democrats don't stand a chance in the Sunshine State going forward. This comes as reports indicate registered GOP voters now outpace Democrats by nearly 900,000.

"You're talking about a million plus voter registration shift," DeSantis told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, claiming older numbers indicated Republicans were behind their Democratic adversaries by nearly 300,000 registered voters in 2018.

"Part of that, I think, is a response locally where people are more likely to switch from Democrat to Republican in Florida, nonparty to Republican than vice-versa. That's been an important component of it, but I do think that migration has skewed amongst people who come to Florida, not because they want to change the policies to reflect in Illinois or California or New York, but because they appreciate how Florida has done it differently from where they're coming from."

There's always that risk that when people flee NY, Illinois, and Ca that they bring their left wing mindset with them and vote accordingly in the states they transplant themselves in

But that doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to Florida

The problem for the GOP is a lot of people who would otherwise vote for them in the midwest are now residents of Florida.  The south is supposed to gain 10 electoral votes in 2030, but it really depends on who is running the census.
